In Q2 2026, the US experienced 45 data center projects worth $68 billion stalled due to local opposition, while Europe faced over $42 billion in delayed or cancelled projects due to public concerns. Oracle's Project Jupiter was impacted by gas pipeline permit delays, leading to a force majeure declaration. In India, data center capacity grew fivefold over the past decade, reaching 1.6 GW by 2025, with AI-related leasing driving 78% of total colocation leasing. Despite this growth, India's data center boom is projected to add only 0.13% to GDP by 2030, according to Moody's. The overall digital infrastructure is grappling with challenges related to AI monetization, security, and power supply.
